| Author | Ignore shield should have an effect on Barbarians |
|---|
Barbarians have their ability to resist magic, but a Wizard with enchanted arts (ie Enhance magic damage, and ignore the shield of another kind of magic) still cannot pierce a barb's "natural" shields.
This is either a bug, or a serious oversight that needs to be addressed.
I have attacked Barbarians with no enchanted def armors, just faction 8 Barb, with a set of arts that amplify fire magic by over 45%, and ignore fire shield by over 25%, with completely unimpressive results (I believe my fireball did 159 damage instead of the usual 300+).
This makes it so that the Barbarian class can always, no matter the arts, defeat a wizard. It is pretty shameful.
Cheers,
LS | One last thing, my enchanted gargoyles are 100% Immune to Fire/Lightning/Water damages.
But with my enchanted arts, I can damage my own gargs because the "ignore shield" pierces through.
I am only suggesting that the same standard be held on all units/factions. More than anything, it is probably just a coding error that can be fixed easily, to adjust the ignore magic effect on barbarians. | | Barbarian's resistance to magic is not the same as elemental shields. For one their resistance is their faction bonus while elemental shields (and piercing) are item bonuses. What you're suggesting is to have magic wielding factions equipment counter to Barbarian's unique ability. Unique abilities should be countered by unique abilities, don't you think? | | well barbarians is protection against ALL magic, not just fire damage, and enchanted gargs say "immune to fire damage" barbarians have no 'fire shield', as it is a shield against everything, I do however see your point, the ignore fire shield should ignore 25% of their magic resistance for fire maybe, although I can see this being a fair amount of work for adding for each element | | [Post deleted by moderator Kotrin // Duh, wrong comment] | Local rule: It is forbidden to create topics with suggestions to weaken/strengthen any unit, artifact, faction.
If barbarians are too strong, just become one! ^_^ | | closed by Lord Kotrin (2009-05-12 10:44:39) |
